[The role of laser Doppler flowmetry as a diagnostic criterion of impaired microcirculation of vesico-urethral segment and prostatic gland].

To study changes in microcirculation of the lower urinary tract in different diseases we used laser analyzer of capillary circulation LAKK-01. The control group consisted of 25 volunteers, the study group--of 65 patients with different vesico-urethral diseases. Normal values of microcirculation in the wall of the urinary bladder, prostatic gland and urethra were determined. These values were significantly reduced in patients with vesico-urethral disorders. Thus, alterations in microcirculation in different pathological conditions of the vesicourethral segment confirm the hypothesis of a direct involvement of microcirculation disorders in pathogenesis of many urological diseases.
